Peter- Before coming back to the museum world, I owned a small company in Colorado. I felt it was important to offer employees some sort of retirement plan so, after doing a lot of research, I set up Simple IRA accounts. Many financial companies offer them (UBS, Merrill Lynch, etc.). I wound up going through EdwardJones. The Simple IRA we used is administered through The Hartford. You might try contacting them directly. I have been very pleased with their program. Julianne Peter Howey wrote: > Does your museum offer a simple IRA with corporate contributions to > its employees?
